Abstract:

Now, five years after 1972, we stop and reflect—where are these immigrants today? Are they a breed alien to our local Jewish communities? Do we have some common bond with our distant relatives? Do they see themselves as an integrating and healthy force entering our communities, or have they become isolates, a negative and withdrawn sub-group within the Jewish community?
